CET is perhaps best known for pioneering the contextual learning model—the integration of vocational training and basic skills education.
CET structures its training to duplicate the "rhythms of industry." From strict attendance rules, to showing a serious commitment to learn and succeed, right down to punching time clocks, Monday through Friday, training replicates a real job.
This not only motivates students to see a clear path to a job, it also instills a sense of responsibility; trainees begin to see what it means to be a reliable employee. This approach is especially effective for those who have had a history of failure in conventional schooling. Students immediately understand that CET is not just a school, but a simulated workplace.
